 Run
Comments: There was maybe 50 people at this race mostly college kids so I was doomed. I started off ok then slowed down then just picked up the pace. (for me that is). I actually passed some younger runners. Maybe they were amazed at my Penn State gloves?? Finished strong. Was glad to finish under 26 minutes! What would you do differently?: Better gloves. Stay in the car until 1 minute before the race.  Post race
Warm down: Walked around trying to not get sick. Drank some water and coffee then some donuts. Breakfast of the gods! What limited your ability to perform faster: 20 pounds around my middle! Event comments: This was for a good cause. Eileen Lupton was a nursing student who died in a porch collapse in Wrigleyville ten years ago. This was actually the 10th anniversary of the race and the final race. They have raised over $400k for a scholarship fund at Villanova School of Nursing. Once again I knew no one but who cares it was a good race. Last updated: 2012-11-10 12:00 AM

Race didn't start till 10:30 so I was up by 8 am so I had some banana bread and gatorade. Nothing special. Once I got there I just tried to stay warm. This did not happen. I WAS FREEZING and I had to go to the bathroom!
Ran a tad. Yes a tad, basically I just clapped my hands to keep them warm. Race started 10 minutes late.
